Effectiveness of Building-Wide Integrated Pest Management Programs for German Cockroach and Bed Bug in a High-Rise Apartment Buildingeffe Publish Date: 2019-11-13 Author/Source: Changlu Wang, Amanda Eiden, Richard Cooper, Chen Zha, Desen Wang Description: We evaluated the effectiveness of a contractor-led bed bug IPM program and researcher-led cockroach IPM program in a high-rise apartment building for 1 yr. A second apartment building that received conventional monthly pest control service was used as control. The bed bug infestation rate decreased from 9% at 0 mo to 3% at 12 mo (63% reduction), even though the contractor only partially followed the IPM protocol; the German cockroach infestation rate decreased from 49% at 0 mo to 12% at 12 mo (75% reduction). |

Histamine as an emergent indoor contaminant: Accumulation and persistence in bed bug infested homes Publish Date: 2018-02-12 Author/Source: Zachary C. DeVries, Richard G. Santangelo, Alexis M. Barbarin, Coby Schal Description: We collected dust in homes and ana- lyzed for histamine before, and up to three months after bed bug eradication. Histamine levels in bed bug infested homes were remarkably high and significantly higher than in control homes not infested with bed bugs. |

Comparative Efficacy of Selected Dust Insecticides for Controlling Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) (PDF) Publish Date: 2016-04-07 Author/Source: Narinderpal Singh, Changlu Wang,Desen Wang, Richard Cooper, and Chen Zha Description: However, there are no scientific data available on the comparative efficacy of the commonly used insecticide dusts. We evaluated the efficacy of eight insecticide dust products using three exposure methods: 1) brief exposure—bed bugs crossed a 2.54-cm-wide dust-treated band, 2) forced exposure—bed bugs were continuously exposed to a dust-treated substrate, and 3) choice exposure—bed bugs were given a choice to stay on either dust-treated or untreated substrate. The brief exposure method was the most sensitive in detecting the differences among the insecticides. Only CimeXa (silica gel) dust caused 100% mortality from all three exposure methods |

Unique features of a global human ectoparasite identified through sequencing of the bed bug genome Publish Date: 2016-02-02 Author/Source: Joshua B. Benoit, Zach N. Adelman, Klaus Reinhardt, Amanda Dolan, Monica Poelchau, Emily C. Jennings, Elise M. Szuter, Richard W. Hagan, Hemant Gujar, Jayendra Nath Shukla, Fang Zhu, M. Mohan, David R. Nelson, Andrew J. Rosendale, Christian Derst, et al Description: Genome sequencing and annotation establish a solid foundation for future research on mechanisms of insecticide resistance, human–bed bug and symbiont–bed bug associations, and unique features of bed bug biology that contribute to the unprecedented success of C. lectularius as a human ectoparasite |

Mark-Release-Recapture Reveals Extensive Movement of Bed Bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) within and between Apartments Publish Date: 2015-09-15 Author/Source: Richard Cooper, Changlu Wang, Narinderpal Singh Description: We investigated bed bug movement within and between apartments using mark-release-recapture (m-r-r) technique combined with apartment-wide monitoring using pitfall-style interceptors. Bed bugs were collected, marked, and released in six apartments. The distribution of marked and unmarked bed bugs in these apartments and their 24 neighboring units were monitored over 32 days. Extensive movement of marked bed bugs within and between apartments occurred regardless of the number of bed bugs released or presence/absence of a host. |

Role of Vision and Mechanoreception in Bed Bug, Cimex lectularius L. Behavior (PDF) Publish Date: 2015-03-06 Author/Source: Narinderpal Singh, Changlu Wang, Richard Cooper Description: We investigated bed bug vision by determining their responses to different colors, vertical objects, and their ability to detect colors and vertical objects under low and complete dark conditions. Results show black and red paper harborages are preferred compared to yellow, green, blue, and white harborages. A bed bug trapping device with a black or red exterior surface was significantly more attractive to bed bugs than that with a white exterior surface. Bed bugs exhibited strong orientation behavior toward vertical objects. |
